Paper. Il mo-. Price p cents. Published by
A. L. Burt, To- William St, New York.
1t is almost superfluOus to say anything
in praise Of a book for boys that has Ho,

is y passport, as every youngster knows, Ia
hours of the keenest delight and enjoy
ment in scenes of stirring life and advent.
ure. Mr.. Alger has discovered how to
interest boys without recourse to any Of
the sensational methods that picture life
in such false colors. Frank Fowler is
the story offs country-bred boy who comes
TO the city and achieves success after many
difficulties, by being honest, upright and
true. Ayers boys are all many boys and
that is probably the secret Of his success.

'IN THRALL1oM," q psychological romance, by
Leon Mead. Fresids series, published by J. s.
Ogilvee Co, 81 Rose 81 New York.
This story rivals the weirdest tales Of
fiction. There is a charm about it like
the wild, strange stories of Poe. The
fierce passion that changes the noble sensi-
tive Lake into q demon is artistically de-
scribed. Aside from its character as a
mind study, SIN Thrslldom," is an enter
tanning work that will no doubt prove
popular. Leon Mead is . graceful and
easy writer. He hGs produced q work in
this little volume that is well worthy of q
place in the brilliant galaxy Of the Fire

THE OLp SOUTH AND THE NEW a series of let.
tiers by Hon. Vim. D.. Kelly. Octave cloth,
si,25. G. 7. Putnam's Sons, Publishers, New
York.
This volume, a. the author says, is the
result of an earnest desire to understand
the industrial and social condition of the
people of the Southern States. To this end
Mr.. Kelly travelled extensively through
the South, comparing the condition of var
ious communities with their condition,
when he had visited them twenty yesrs
before. He embodies the conclusions Of
his Investigations in this handsome little
volume. The value and accuracy Of the
facts presented by Judge Kelly are beyond
question. The work is an excellent res
ume of the developing industries OF the
new South, Judge Kelly writes from the
standpoint Of a progressive, enlightened
manufacturer, who is thoroughly imbued
with the prevailing political and econOmi-
cal ideas Of his native State. Some of his
opinions may not, therefore, be acceptable
to all. About the ability with which they
are advanced, the accuracy of his facts and
the pleasing literary style of thework there
can be no doubt.

THE NOGALES TROUBLE.
General Miles Thinks that 1t
lis not serious.

A representative of the HERALD
called upon General Miles last evening
at the Nadeau House, and ascertained
that he had not received any news from
Nogales during the day, and for that
reason he thought that the difficulties
had not been SO serious as was expected,
and that peace was established. He did
not think the trouble grew out of any
hostility, but partook more of the nature
of riot or squabble. Captain Lawton
started for Nogales yesterday morning,
but he was going anyway and did not
start on account of the troubles. By
that time the Governor of Arizona was
in the town and no doubt controlled the
situation without need of the assistance
of the army, although two companies of
cavalry were on hand ready for service.
Nogales is rafferty, 4neerly situated, be.
ing partly in the United States and
partly in Mexico. In fact, the line runs
through some of the houses and snug.
Cling is said to be very prevalent. Mex.
lean troops are always on hand to pre-.
vent smuggling, but just what business
the officers bad out of their own terri
tory the General did not know.
1t was his opinion. however, that it
was their fault, but the result would not
amount to much. Of course, anything
tending to make trouble between the
two nationalities living in the same town,
SO situated, would create great deal of
talk, but in the absence of news there
was every reason to believe that the mat.
ter had blown over and had amounted to
nothing mors than a street brawl.

A FORGER.
He Uses o. w. CEild's Name IL
an Unla w ful Manner.

He Uses q. ". Child's Name In
an Unla w ful Manner.
There was man in town selling gas
or meter regulators, and he went by the
name of George Won Renialto. The
machine he sells will, he claims, tell
exactly how much gas person es, and
will prevent the escape of gas and other
wise tend to lower the monthly bills
which people have to pay for light. He
was not very successful in the sale of his
machines, and night before last, while
engaged in the seductive game of faro at
Spring.street resort, found himself out
of ready money. He was desirous of
tempting fortune to the limit and
"changed in" check for Sl0O, drawn in
his favor on the Farmers and MERCHANTS
Bank and signed with Mr.. o. w. Childs'
name. The cashier of the game was
gratitied to receive the check. He had
probably never before had a piece OF
paper with Mr.. Childs' name signed to
it on his table, and he was inflated with
the idea that his game was taking on q
tone of respectability. His elation was
short.lived, as when he presented the
check at the bank yesterday it was pro.
nounced a paIpable forgery, and pay
ment refused. Won Renialto is now
badly wanted, but he has gone to some
other country, probably for his health.
He borrowed SIS from Bisbee & Wenger,
of the Opera Saloon, but he left one of
his gas regulators as security, SO these
gentlemen are safe. He also borrowed
$50 from John c. McMenomy, leaving a
diamond ring in pledge. The ring is
valuable and John is not out.

ties Will be Impaihou
Tomorrow three of the present clerks
at the postoffice will be compelled to
sever their connection with the office,
owing to the fact that there is not money
enough allowed by the Government to
nav them for their labor. The Post
master has for several months past paid
these clerks out of his own pocket, and
he has decided to call halt. He is not
endowed with the riches of Wander
bilt. and feels that the Government
should bear a portion of the expenses Of
the office. The force at present consists
of four delivery clerks, three nsailiL g
clerks Zone temporary, two separators,
two box clerks, one money-order clerk
and one registry clerk. There is also
an Assistant Postmaster. Most OF these
clerks get only $50 per month and work
fully twelve hours per day. Three of
these clerks are paid by the Postmaster.
Even with these three extra clerks a nd
the long hours they work, there is contin.
ual complaint as to the manner in which
mail is handled. Tomorrow when these
three clerks are ken away the differ.
ence will be seen by all. Persons having
boxes will have to wait several hours
for their mail to be distributed. The
remaining force will endeavor to handle
all the letter mail and regular papers,
but it will not be dons, as be.
fore. The transient newspapers will
have to go by the board and remain in
the office unhandled. This is serious
state of affairs and is causing some an-
easiness. The B 2ard of Trade some
time ago started subscription list for
the purpose of getting fund sufficient
to pay three postofIice clerks for three
months, only about $40 was subscribed
and the matter was dropped. Yester.

NEW YORK, March 5.-Stocks to-day were
duller than at any day of the past week, and
though there was an undertone OF strength.
prices we're held barely steady. The open
ing was steady to firm, with majority OF the
slight changes in the direction OF higher
prices. Trading was dull and generally
steady. Prices at noon showed almost no
change from those at the opening, after
which sagging tendency was noticed,
which, however, disappeared when Western
Union became strong. The close was dull
and steady at insignificant changes from the
opening prices.
Railroad bonds were dull, the only activity
being in Texas Pacific Income Trust re-
ceipts, in which the sales were VI ,ooo,ooo out
of the total days business of $l,10s,0o0.
